B= time Kansas instals a new Gov- ernor, about fifty convicts in the peniten- tiary at Lansing tremble with fear. They are men being held in prison awaiting the Gov- ernor’s order to be hanged. In K; Governor must sign a death warrant before a murderer can be hanged. Many years ago hanging was virtually abolished in the State by the refusal of the Governor to sign the death warrant. Life imprisonment is the extreme penalty applied, although the murderer is sen- tenced to hang. Every time there is a change of administration, the “hang” men in prison become nervous. They fear that some time Kansas will elect a man as Governor who be- lieves in hanging for capital offences, and that he will sign a whole bunch of death warrants at one time and have a big hanging be Atchison Globe. nsas the HE Chickasha (1. T.) Express reprints this from one of its territorial exchanges: “Sing a song of pestilence, a fellow full of tye, four and twenty serpents dancing in his eye; when his cyes were opened he shouted for his life.

His hat was in the parlor, underneath the ,chair; his boots were in the hallway, his coat was on a chair, his trousers in the kitchen, his collar on a shelf, but he hasn't any notion where he was himself: when the morn was breaking, some one heard him call—his head was on the icebox, which was the best of all.” Immortal « Platform.” A* American lady visited Stratford-on- Avon lately and “gushed” even above the usual high-watermark of American fervor. She had not recovered from the attack when she reached the railway ion, for she re- marked to a friend as they walked onto the platform: “And to think that it was from this very p)atform the immortal bard would depart whenever he journeyed to town!"—Til-Bits. EORGE ADE was listening gravely to a compliment. At the end he said: “Thank you. You remind me of something. “A little while after the appearance of my first book I went to spend a week in a sum- mer regort outside of Chicago. “The landlord of the modest hotel said to me: Ade, you are a literary man, I be- lievi “I blushed and smiled, and answered that I had written a few trifles—nothing more. “I have several literary men stopping here,’ the landlord went on. “‘Well, I'm rather glad of that “Yes, said the landlord, ‘I like literary men. They neverobject to paying in advance. They are used to it.”""—New York Tribune.
